5 Key Takeaways
- The future of work will be a satellite setting of a hybrid
workforce, which works remotely from co-working spaces, home
offices, other off-site locations or on-site at corporate HQs. The
role of large, central HQs will be reduced and replaced with a
smaller HQ and a hub-and-spoke model with satellite offices or
co-working spaces. - Tech-solutions will be key to managing office assets and likewise
working practices in the future of work:
A) Managing and load balancing office space in a hybrid working
environment
B) Equalizing hybrid working styles to overcome disadvantages
for remote workers - The mix of office options will be dependent on industry,
company, team culture, and individual responsibilities - Asset owners and office landlords will have to adapt their offer
- by providing Space-as-a-Service and flexible lease options to
match new demands and working trends - Power dynamics have changed: Tenants have a strong say in what
the office and working practices will look like. Offices now need
to appeal to both the company (ESG & smart building data) and
the end user (ease of commuting location, greater flexibility &
quality of experience). Less commuting has also a strong impact
on decarbonization
